Note: This project was completed as part of the guided exercises in Chapter 20 of The Rust Programming Language Book. The objective of the project was to reinforce the concepts learned in the book.
This is a simple multithreaded web server implemented in Rust. The server listens on IP address 127.0.0.1 and port 7878, and uses a thread pool to handle incoming requests.
- Supports GET requests to the root endpoint (
/), which returns the contents ofhello.html - Supports GET requests to the
/sleependpoint, which returns the contents ofhello.htmlafter sleeping for 5 seconds - Returns a 404 NOT FOUND response for any other type of request, along with the contents of
404.html
To run the server, simply compile and execute the program using a terminal or command prompt.
$ cargo run
